2025 Fantasy Outlook

Gonzales failed to win the Pirates' second base job out of spring training, but an injury to Ke'Bryan Hayes gave him a chance in the majors in early May. He took advantage while relying on his contact ability and hit tool-the primary factors that led to him being a top prospect - as his strikeout rate dipped below 20 percent for the first time in any significant sample at any level as a pro. A groin injury cost Gonzales all of August, ultimately limiting him to 387 plate appearances. While it was a promising sample, it is worth noting that Gonzales still posted just a 94 wRC+, .307 wOBA and .128 ISO. He's the favorite to man second base for the Pirates in 2025, but his fantasy appeal will likely be limited due to a relative lack of speed and power. Some solid contributions in batting average and counting stats are possible, but both were arguably bloated in 2024 thanks to a .347 BABIP with runners on base and .352 with runners in scoring position. Gonzales is a fine middle infield option in deeper leagues, but he shouldn't be viewed as much more until (or if) his skills take another step forward. Read Past Outlooks
